Slender Threads is a dark point-and-click adventure that follows traveling salesman Harvey Green as he makes a routine stop in the quiet town of Villa Ventana. What starts as an ordinary visit soon takes a sinister turn – Harvey experiences eerie visions and discovers that an unseen force is manipulating the townspeople.
Soon, the paranormal forces begin to affect Harvey as well. Amid mysterious deaths, bizarre characters and unexplainable events, he must uncover the truth behind Villa Ventana’s strange happenings before he becomes the next victim. Slender Threads blends classic point-and-click gameplay with a gripping narrative that shifts between psychological horror and dark humor. Its hand-drawn visuals, enhanced with 3D elements, create a striking, atmospheric look that deepens the town’s eerie mystery.
